Okey, either use NOW() on the DATETIME field, or use TIMESTAMP field without inserting there value. > Here is my mysql command: > > INSERT INTO $tablename > (sender, recipient, whenread, whensent, subject, > messagetext, folder, priority, condition) > VALUES > ('$directorid', '$SendTo', '00000000000000', '$whensent', > '$SetSubject', '$MessageText', 'Inbox', '$SetPriority', 'TO') > I want to use the NOW() function to set the current time in place of > the $whensent variable. > Can anyone help me? If WHENSENT is TIMESTAMP, use: INSERT INTO $tablename (sender, recipient, whenread, subject, messagetext, folder, priority, condition) VALUES ('$directorid', '$SendTo', '00000000000000', '$SetSubject', '$MessageText', 'Inbox', '$SetPriority', 'TO') If WHENSENT is DATETIME, use: INSERT INTO $tablename (sender, recipient, whenread, whensent, subject, messagetext, folder, priority, condition) VALUES ('$directorid', '$SendTo', '00000000000000', NOW(), '$SetSubject', '$MessageText', 'Inbox', '$SetPriority', 'TO') -- ./ premax ./ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
